I think Ford has given up on the idea of using the Cobra as a vette fighter, I read in Motor Trend? that they might revive the GT-40 as thier super car.

IMO they are trying to build an M3 fighter. Which I suppose is a grand idea, but no self respecting bimmer freak is even gonna acknowledge the existance of a Mustang as a competitor. So again IMO the powers that be have thier head stuck were the sun doesn't shine.

As far as a super charged DOHC making 400 hp, thats just lazy, dirty engineering! the Z06 is making 71 hp per liter with 2 valves, 1 camshaft and 16 pushrods. 71 hp per liter times 4.6 equals 327 hp, Sad part is, thats with 4 valves and 4 cams in the case of the Cobra, when it shoulod be the 2 valve GT making at least that much if not more. with its SOHC arrangement your knocking out the pushrods and the lifters for the most part. A whole lot of weight saving going on there. Not to mention those missing pushrods and the increased room for a much better shot into the combustion chamber. The 2 valve SOHC should be making 300 hp or better not 260, the DOHC engine should be making 350 or BETTER
